However, Tewatia and Rashid took Gujarat home to hand Rajasthan their first defeat of the season.
In the last over, Rashid Khan hit two fours and two runs in the first 3 balls. He then took one run to make GT require 4 runs from the last 2 deliveries. Tewatia then hit Avesh over the mid-off fielder and was run out while attempting the third run.
